The Developmental Systems approach to evolution is defended against the alternative extended replicator approach of Sterelny, Smith and Dickison (1996). A precise definition is provided of the spatial and temporal boundaries of the life-cycle that DST claims is the unit of evolution. Pacé Sterelny et al., the extended replicator theory is not a bulwark against excessive holism. Everything which DST claims is replicated in evolution can be shown to be an extended replicator on Sterelny et al.s definition. Reasons are given for scepticism about the heuristic value claimed for the extended replicator concept. For every competitive, individualistic insight the replicator theorist has a cooperative, systematic blindspot. 相似文献

Summary The content of free amino acids was determined in erythrocytes of adult Leghorn (Lg, White Rock (WR) and Cornish (Cr) hens, bred under identical conditions. The concentration of total amino acids was twice as high in the erythrocytes as in plasma, amounting to 396 m/100 ml, 424 m/100 ml and 475m/100 ml in White Rock, Cornish and Leghorn hens, respectively.Significant differences were found in the ratio of basic amino acids to acidic amino acids. These values were 0.76, 1.75 and 3.19 in White Rick, Leghorn and Cornish hens, respectively; in the plasma of all 3 breeds the ratio was 1. Statistically significant interbreed differences were expressed more distinctly in erythrocyte than in plasma amino acid concentrations. For absolute concentrations the differences were significant in the case of 9 amino acids. 相似文献

The soft-rot fungus Trichoderma reesei forms -xylosidase (EC 3.2.1.37) activity during cultivation on xylan and xylose, but not on glucose. When mycelia precultivated on glycerol were washed and transferred to fresh medium without a carbon and nitrogen source, -xylosidase formation was induced by xylan, xylobiose and xylose. A supply of 4 mm xylose and a pH of 2.5 provided optimal conditions for induction. -Xylosidase accounted for the major portion of total extracellular protein under these conditions, and could be purified to physical homogeneity by a single anion exchange chromatography step. A recombinant strain of T. reesei that carries multiple copies of the homologous xylanase II-encoding gene has a six-fold increased xylanase activity, but forms comparable -xylosidase activities. This shows that the rate of xylan hydrolysis has no effect on the induction of -xylosidase. Methyl--d-xyloside inhibited -xylosidase competitively and was a weak -xylosidase inducer. The induction by xylobiose and xylan was strongly enhanced by the simultaneous addition of methyl--d-xylosidese and xylan or xylobiose. The results suggest that a slow supply of xylose is a trigger for -xylosidase induction. 相似文献

The paper characterizes Darwin's theory, providing a synthesis of recent historical investigations in this area. Darwin's reading of Malthus led him to appreciate the importance of population pressures, and subsequently of natural selection, with the help of the wedge metaphor. But, in itself, natural selection did not furnish an adequate account of the origin of species, for which a principle of divergence was needed. Initially, Darwin attributed this to geographical isolation, but later, following his work on barnacles which underscored the significance of variation, and arising from his work on botanical arithmetic, he supposed that diversity allowed more places to be occupied in a given region. So isolation was not regarded as essential. Large regions with intense competition, and with ample variation spread by blending, would facilitate speciation. The notion of place was different from niche, and it is questioned whether Darwin's views on ecology were as modern as is commonly supposed. Two notions of struggle are found in Darwin's theory; and three notions of variation. Criticisms of his theory led him to emphasize the importance of variation over a range of forms. Hence the theory was populational rather than typological. The theory required a Lamarckian notion of inheritable changes initiated by the environment as a source of variation. Also, Darwin deployed a use/habit theory; and the notion of sexual selection. Selection normally acted at the level of the individual, though kin selection was possible. Group selection was hinted at for man. Darwin's thinking (and also the exposition of his theory) was generally guided by the domestic-organism analogy, which satisfied his methodological requirement of a vera causa principle. 相似文献

The present paper reports our attempts to determine whether the inclusion of 0.0014 mM Zn++ within a hydroponic culture medium affects the ability of 12-day-old Zea mays, cv. SS-522 to take-up [3H]-aflatoxin B1. Data from the corollary experiment, i.e., whether inclusion of aflatoxin affects the ability of Zea mays, cvs. Truckers White, X-Sweet and Merit to take-up 65ZnCl2 are presented also. This report is a preliminary to one regarding an in-progress analysis of whether pollutant levels of Zn++ affect aflatoxin uptake and distribution. In the absence of irrigating seedlings, which were grown in Perlite containing 65ZnCl2, with a solution containing mixed aflatoxins, the stem contained the greatest amount of label with root plus seed the next highest and the leaf the least for each of the cvs. In contrast, when the seedlings were irrigated with a solution containing mixed aflatoxins, the root plus seed contained either an amount nearly identical to (cv. Truckers White) or in excess of that within the stem (cvs. X-Sweet and Merit). Calculation of the percentages of aflatoxin-induced diminutions in leaf, stem and root label suggested that the aflatoxins interfered with the translocation of 65ZnCl2 from the root to the stem and leaf, at least for cvs X-Sweet and Merit. When 0.0014mM Zn++ as ZnSO4 was added to an incubation medium in which 12-day-old seedlings were suspended and plant growth assessed over 72 hours, a 15% increase (significant at 0.05 level) in seedling height over that of Zn++-deficient plants was observed. No differences in [3H]-aflatoxin B1 uptake were noted between those seedlings which were grown in either Zn++-containing or lacking media. Less than one % of the[3H]-aflatoxin B1 which was taken-up was recovered within chloroform extracts of the seedlings. The distributions of radioactivity from [3H]-aflatoxin B1 for leaf, stem, seed and root were 0, 57, 26 and 19% and 0, 26, 58 and 18% for Zn++-containing and -lacking media, respectively. 相似文献

In the present report, we used serological, cellular, and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) to investigate the DR1 haplotype in the Israeli population. We describe an Israeli homozygous typing cell (HTC), HLA-DwLVA, which defines a new lymphocyte-activating determinant associated with Bw65, DR1 and distinct from Dwl. The parents of this donor, non-Ashkenazi Algerian Jews, are first cousins and share HLA-Cw8, Bw65, BfS, DR1, DQw1, DPw4. No specificity could be assigned to HLA-DwLVA using the 91 Ninth Workshop HTCs. Two families and forty unrelated DR1 individuals were studied with DwLVA and a panel of DR1/Dw1 HTCs. HLA-DwLVA showed segregation as a single determinant within families. This new specificity was present in 24 out of 40 (60%) unrelated DR1 individuals, indicating that in the Israeli population DwLVA is the main lymphocyte-defined determinant associated with the serologically defined DRI specificity, in contrast to non-Jewish Caucasoids where DR1 is significantly associated with Dw1. The vast majority of DwLVA-positive carriers were also Bw65 carriers, indicating that Bw65, DR1, DwLVA may represent a typical allele combination in the Israeli population. The RFLP analysis established the correlation of certain RFLPs with Dw1 and DwLVA. In addition, we describe a cluster of RFLPs that may correspond to a new Dw subtype associated with DR1, for which no serological and cellular reagents have been described so far. 相似文献

Rapid multiplication of axillary meristems and direct shoot development occurred from nodal explants of mature Eucalyptus tereticornis Sm. with 5.3 M NAA, 1.1 M IAA and 4.4 M BA in Murashige-Skoog medium. Repeated subcultures of the second generation shoot cultures into low cytokinin-auxin containing media (0.44–0.88 M BA+0.1 M NAA) yielded axillary microshoots in large numbers. Half-strength MS liquid medium with 4.9 M IBA, 5.5 M IAA and 5.3 M NAA for four days, half-strength semi-solid hormonefree MS medium with charcoal, and MS liquid medium without charcoal and hormones, in sequence, induced rooting of shoots in the dark. This system is suitable for the mass propagation of this difficult-to-root eucalypt.Abbreviations BA

It is shown that the utility of usual circular line source models is highly questionable. A line source model related to arbitrary cross-sections is given and essential differences between the source strength of the circular and non-circular model are found in the case of fairly flat elliptic fibers. 相似文献

The primary structure of Rose-ringed Parakeet hemoglobin -chain was established, completing the analysis of this hemoglobin. Comparisons with other avian -chains show variations smaller than those for the corresponding -chains. There are 11 amino acid exchanges in relationship to the only other characterized psittaciform -chain, and a total of 35 positions are affected by differences among all avian -chains analyzed (versus 61 for the -chains). At three positions, the Psittacula -chain has residues unique to this species. Three 11 contacts are modified, by substitutions at positions 51, 116, and 125. 相似文献

The inheritance of host plant resistance and its effect on the relative infection efficiency for leaf blast was studied in the crosses IR36/CO39 (partially resistant × highly susceptible) and IR36/IR64 (both partially resistant). On the natural scale, gene action appeared multiplicative. After log transformation, additive effects described most of the genetic variation in the cross IR36/CO39, while additive and dominance effects were about equal in magnitude in the cross IR36/IR64. Dominance was towards increased resistance. No transgressive segregation occurred in the cross IR36/CO39. The number of genes that reduce lesion number was estimated to be zero in CO39 and five or more in IR36. The cross IR36/IR64 showed transgressive segregation in both directions, and IR36 and IR64 each contain at least one gene that is not present in the other cultivar. The heritabilities (narrow sense) in the F2 were low (range 0.06–0.16), while narrow sense heritabilities based on F3 lines were much higher (range 0.41–0.68). Lesion numbers in F3 lines were reasonably correlated with those in F5 progenies derived from the same F2 plant (r was±0.6 in both crosses). Partial resistance can be effectively improved by selecting the most resistant plants from the most resistant F3 lines. 相似文献

PP 333 was compared with ancymidol, CGA 65993, dikegulac-sodium (as Atrinal) and maleic hydrazide for its ability to restrict stem extension in tulip cvs Paul Richter, Apeldoorn and Trance. Single, 300 ml compost drenches were applied one day after housing fully cooled bulbs grown in a sphagnum peat/sand compost (3:1 v/v).Experiments in 1979/1980 and 1980/1981 with mid- and late-season crops showed that PP 333, like ancymidol, could reduce stem extension without deleterious responses. However, higher amounts of PP 333 (0.8–33.3 mg a.i./pot) were required than of ancymidol (0.625–2.5 mg a.i./pot). Cv. Paul Richter was much less responsive to PP 333 and ancymidol than Apeldoorn, particularly when grown as a late-season crop. Dikegulac was the most effective chemical in the latter situation, especially as it restricted post-flowering extension growth. PP 333 and ancymidol were better able to control such growth in the mid-season crops. Other than for the above purpose, dikegulac proved unsuitable because it increased flower bud blasting and gave rise to abnormally coloured perianth segments. Similarly, marked reductions in stem length of Apeldoorn and Paul Richter with CGA 65993 were associated with unacceptable side-effects, namely, smaller flowers (both cvs) and more bud blasting in Apeldoorn. Maleic hydrazide (5–500 mg a.i./pot) had little influence on stem length in any of the three cultivars.The trials indicated the need to test each cultivar/retardant combination, as well as to take into account the time of forcing because, whereas Paul Richter and Apeldoorn were adequately dwarfed by PP 333 and ancymidol without adverse effects, both compounds caused about 50% of Trance flowers to blast. No treatment influenced flowering date in cv. Paul Richter but PP 333 delayed flowering by two days in Apeldoorn and Trance, as did the higher doses of ancymidol in Apeldoorn. 相似文献

Summary Genotypic stability of grain yield and yield related traits was estimated for the 8 wheat-Agropyron derivatives, 441, 442, Vostock, PPG 56, PPG 56SS, 449, 450 and 441SS, together with two spring wheat controls, Drabant and Sv 01382, grown under varying watering regimes for two years. Differences among environments, genotypes and their interactions were highly significant for all traits. The genotypes X environments linear response were significant for number of spikelets per main spike, grain number per main spike and single grain weight. No significant linear responses were detected for grain yield or the rest of yield related traits. Deviations from linear responses were highly significant for all traits under study. Grain yield stability was not associated with the stability of yield components. PPG 56SS was identified as the stable variety with the highest mean grain yield per plant under the severe stress environment. Mean grain yields in the severe stress environment were correlated with the genotypic stability parameter . The severe stress environment was recognized as the optimum test environment. The study revealed a shift in the association between grain yield per plant and its components under the varying environments. 相似文献

Summary In a previous paper, two types of cyclic nucleotide-dependent protein kinases, namely cGMP dependent G-kinase and cAMP dependent A-kinase, in silkworm eggs has been reported (Takahashi et al. 1975; Takahashi 1976). One of these, G-kinase, has now been purified 2400-fold by means of ammonium sulfate fractionation, chromatography on hydroxylapatite, DEAE cellulose, and gel filtration.Some of the properties of the enzyme are described. The enzyme is highly dependent on cGMP; it is strongly inhibited by GTP in a noncompetitive manner not only for ATP but also for cGMP. GTP was found to be highly inhibitory on G-kinases from various tissues of the silkworm, but did not inhibit the A-kinase.Incubation of the egg extract with [-32P]ATP and Mg2+ led to the formation of three major32P-labelled proteins, with molecular weights of 42.000, 70.000 and 180.000 as analyzed by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Two of them corresponded to the subunits of vitellin.The silkworm vitellin was effectively phosphorylated both by the highly purified G-kinase and by the A-kinase. It is concluded that the G-kinase is involved in the phosphorylation of vitellin in developing silkworm eggs.Abbreviations

Summary The progenies of two different rye test-crosses were analyzed for secalin proteins by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) using unreduced and reduced aqueous ethanol extracts. Segregation for two high-molecular-weight secalin bands (Glu-R1 or Sec3), one -secalin band (Gli-R1 or Sec-1), two 40K -secalin bands (Gli-R1 or Sec1) and two -type secalin bands (new locus) were studied. One recombinant between - and -secalins was found in one test-cross. The new locus, designated Gli-R3 or Sec-4, was mapped between Glu-R1 and Gli-R1, more displaced towards Gli-R1. In test-cross 1 recombination between Glu-R1 and Gli-R3 was 33.80±3.22%, and between Gli-R3 and Gli-R1, 12.04±2.21%. In the other test-cross the map distances were relatively similar but smaller, likely due to less recombination within two different species of Secale. Genes coding for 40K -secalins at Gli-R1 were likely proximal to the centromere with respect to genes coding for -secalins at the same complex locus. 相似文献

The conformational properties of the oligosaccharide chain of GM1 ganglioside containingN-glycolyl-neuraminic acid, -Gal-(1-3)--GalNAc-(1-4)-[-Neu5Gc-(2-3)]--Gal-(1-4)--Glc-(1-1)-Cer, were studied through NMR nuclear Overhauser effect investigations on the monomeric ganglioside in dimethylsulfoxide, and on mixed micelles of ganglioside and dodecylphosphocholine in water. Several interresidual contacts for the trisaccharide core--GalNAc-(1-4)-[-Neu5Gc-(2-3)]--Gal-were found to fix the relative orientitation of the three saccharides, while the glycosidic linkage of the terminal -Gal-was found to be quite mobile as the -Gal-(1-3)--GalNAc-disaccharide exists in different conformations. These results are similar to those found for two GM1 gangliosides containingN-acetyl-neuraminic acid and neuraminic acid [1].Abbreviations Ganglioside nomenclature is in accordance with Svennerholm [23] and the IUPAC-IUB Recommendations [24] GM3(Neu5Ac)

Using a cloning technique, we revealed the existence of three phototactically distinct types in Daphnia magna, viz. negatives, positives, and gipsies. The latter migrate continuously between a low and a high light intensity. The expression of this behaviour is genetically determined, although positives and negatives can reversibly switch into gipsies.It is proposed that two opposite genotypes exist, with the gipsy behaviour epigenetically induced. All juveniles behave more or less uniformly, irrespective of their origin. The phototactic responses develop rather late during ontogenesis. 相似文献

The N-terminal domain (1–318 amino acids) of mouse NFB (p65) has been purified to homogeneity from the soluble fraction of Escherichia coli cells expressing this protein. Its complex with a full-length iB- (MAD3, 1–317 amino acids) molecule was generated by binding the E. coli-derived iB- to the purified NFB and purifying the complex by sequential chromatography. The stoichiometry of NFB to iB in the complex was determined to be 2 to 1 by light scattering and SDS–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The secondary structure of the NFB (p65) determined by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is in good agreement with that of the p50 in the crystal structure of the p50/DNA complex, indicating that no significant structural change in NFB occurs upon binding of DNA. The FTIR spectrum of the NFB/iB complex indicates that its secondary structure is composed of 17% -helix, 39% -strand, 18% irregular structures, and 26% -turns and loops. By comparing these data to the FTIR data for NFB alone, it is concluded that the iB (MAD3) in the complex contains 35% -helix, 27% -strand, 22% irregular structures, and 16% -turns and loops. Circular dichroism (CD) analysis of a shorter form of iB (pp40) indicates that it contains at least 20% -helix and that the iB subunit accounts for nearly all of the -helix present in the NFB/iB complex, consistent with the FTIR results. The stabilities of NFB, iB, and their complex against heat-induced denaturation were investigated by following changes in CD signal. The results indicate that the thermal stability of iB is enhanced upon the formation of the NFB/iB complex. 相似文献

The occurrence of adenosine 5-triphosphate-3-diphosphate-synthesizing activity was detected in five strains of actinomycetes; Streptomyces morookaensis, Streptomyces aspergilloides, Streptomyces hachijoensis, Actinomyces violascens and Streptoverticillium septatum, out of 825 strains of actinomycetes, bacteria, fungi and imperfecti. Purine nucleotide pyrophosphotransferase were extracellularly excreted associating with the cell growth, and were purified partially or to apparent homogeniety from the culture filtrate. The enzymes are a monomeric protein with a molecular weight of 18000–26000 and synthesize adenosine, guanosine and inosine 5-phosphate (mono, di or tri)-3-diphosphate such as pApp, ppApp, pppApp, pGpp, ppGpp, pppGpp and pppIpp by transferring a pyrophosphoryl group from the 5-position of ATP, dATP and pppApp to the 3-position of purine nucleotides in the presence of a divalent cation and in alkaline state.Abbreviations pppApp
